What you’ll be working on
- Offensive testing: Attack Apify the way a real attacker would: the platform (multi-tenant isolation, Actor sandboxing, Apify Proxy, API, Console), AI agents and MCP servers (prompt injection, tool poisoning, data exfiltration), our supply chain and CI/CD (dependencies, GitHub Actions, open-source projects like Crawlee), and AWS (IAM, network, logging).
- AI-assisted security work: Use AI tools daily for pentesting, recon, code review, exploit development, and research.
- Security research: Follow new vulnerabilities, attack techniques, and threat actor activity. Assess what they mean for Apify and act on them fast.
- Threat modeling: Map realistic attack paths for new features and architectural changes before they ship.
- Vulnerability management: Triage, reproduce, and rate reports from researchers, pentesters, scanners, and your own testing. Agree on fixes with engineering, make sure they land within SLAs, and help run Apify's vulnerability program.
- Automation: Use scripting and AI to scale the program: triage pipelines, AI-assisted code review, advisory monitoring, and your own attack tooling.
- Detection and response: Hunt for signs of compromise and platform abuse, turn findings from hunting and attacking into detections, and support incident response.
Who we’re looking for
- Experience: 3+ years in offensive security, penetration testing, security research, AppSec, or a closely related field.
- Attacker mindset: Hands-on experience finding and exploiting vulnerabilities in web applications and APIs, well beyond OWASP Top 10 checklists.
- Cloud: Hands-on experience securing and breaking AWS environments (IAM, CloudTrail, GuardDuty).
- Scripting or programming: You write your own tools and automation in Python, Go, Bash, or similar. Proficiency in Node.js/TypeScript is a plus.
- Tooling: Experience with Burp Suite or similar, vulnerability scanners, SAST/DAST, and GitHub's security features.
- AI: You use AI tools in your daily work and understand how LLMs and AI agents can be attacked.
- Curiosity: You follow the security community, read new research when it drops, and can't leave an interesting bug alone.
- Communication: You explain technical risks clearly to developers and leadership, and you work with engineers, not against them.
- Self-starter mentality: You find work on your own instead of waiting for tickets.
- Compliance (nice to have): Familiarity with frameworks like SOC 2 or ISO 27001.
